Hunter stumbled upon pot plants
AMBOY - An elk hunter who wandered into a large marijuana growing operation near Amboy is fortunate to be alive, officials said Thursday.

 
"He happened to stumble across it in the forest," said Sgt. Tony Barnes with the Clark-Skamania Drug Task Force. "He backed out and called the task force."

It turned out that the hunter, who was scouting for elk before the season started, did the wise thing.

They left behind an AK-47 assault-style rifle, a 30-30 lever-action rifle - and ammunition for both, Barnes said.
